Video: UCLA Football Commit Damian Alloway Goes Hollywood
UCLA Football got a commitment from 4-star Damian Alloway Hollywood-style!
College football recruiting has come a long way since communication came via snail mail and rotary phones.
In this day in age, recruits are finding more creative and eye-catching ways of giving their pledge to the school they will play with for the length of their collegiate careers. Whether it is Twitter, Facebook, a press conference or even a “music video”, the world of announcing college commitments is evolving.

UCLA Football fans were treated to just such an event when 4-star WR Damian Alloway gave a very Hollywood performance in a video released by Bleacher Report naming the school he would commit to.
"4-star RB Damian Alloway (@yt_alltheway) reveals commitment with Hollywood signhttps://t.co/APiwGm6kpy— Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) January 29, 2016"
In the video, Alloway goes a a hunt that will lead him to his decision. It starts with a note at his front door directing him to go the Rocks of Terranea in Palos Verdes. From there he ventures to the Korean Bell of Friendship in San Pedro, Fontana Park in his hometown of Fontana, CA and ultimately to Lake Hollywood Park where he finds his answer.
That answer… “UCLA Bruins” which replaces the world famous Hollywood sign.

Yes, It made me cry. And why not? Not only did “UCLA Bruins” look beautiful on the side of Mt. Lee, but Alloway is the the fourth 4-star receiver to commit to the UCLA Football program for 2016.
Alloway will be joining Theo Howard, Demetric Felton and Dymond Lee in a class that has the best collection of receivers since Head Coach Jim Mora got to Westwood.
